Tates, mames, kinderlekh

Tates, mames, kinderlekh (Yiddish: טאַטעס מאַמעס קינדערלעך, 'Fathers, mothers, children'), also known as Barikadn (באַריקאַדן, 'Barricades'), is a Yiddish song from the 1920s associated with the socialist General Jewish Labour Bund movement.[1][2] The song describes a workers' strike in Łódź; as men, women and children joined in to construct barricades in the streets of the city.[1][3] Tates, mames, kinderlekh was written by Shmerke Kaczerginski, who later became a Communist Party activist and a partisan fighter.[1][2] Kaczerginski was only 15 years old at the time the song was written in 1926. The song rapidly became widely popular in the Jewish community in Poland.[2]
